Technologies to increase tissue vascularity are critically important to the fields of tissue engineering and cardiovascular medicine. Angiogenic factors, like VEGF, have been widely investigated to induce vascular endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis for establishing a vascular network. However, effective

Gold nanoparticles functionalized with doxorubicin and stabilized with multilayers of degradable polyelectrolyte were allowed to age in aqueous medium in vitro in order to show the possibility of drug release in cellular environment. The chemico-physical characteristics of the nanoparticles are

The patterned template-assisted assembly of the cubic microparticles driven by the competing capillary, Columbic, and van der Waals forces had been studied in comparison with the traditional spherical colloidal microparticles. We observed that the spherical and cubic microparticles assembled with
Self-healing hydrogels can be made using either reversible covalent cross-links or coordination chemistry bonds. Here we present a multi-pH-responsive system inspired by the chemistry of blue mussel adhesive proteins. By attaching DOPA to an amine-functionalized polymer, a multiresponsive system is

We designed dual-functional nanoparticles for in vivo application using a modified electrostatic and covalent layer-by-layer assembly strategy to address the challenge of assessment and treatment of hormone-refractory prostate cancer. Core-shell nanoparticles were formulated by integrating three distinct functional components, ie
